have been wrought in vain; they know not that their
faithfulness has unsealed springs of blessing that
can never cease to flow; only by faith they see the

harvests. They plant trees, that others may eat the
fruit. They are content here to know that they have
set in motion agencies for good. In the hereafter the
action and reaction of all these will be seen.—
